JDM DC5R has brembos EP3R doesnt.

[jklo]

Another difference is that the EP3R is available for import and probably might be cheaper than DC5R. You can source your EP3 either in JDM trim or EDM trim although both types are made in the swindon plant...

hmm.. really looking forward to seeing one on the roads...
